At this time, Orbital ATK does not know who...

This will change bigtime, come January 1 2020, when ADS-B "out" is required equipment. The new transponder capability will transmit the aircraft call sign continuously. I suppose one could try to evade by shutting it off, but that in of itself gets one in a heap o' trouble. And, in this case, it was probably just a wayward lost pilot. Actually, this plane may already have ADS-B "out", and the identity is already known by the FAA, if not the media.

Viewable from a large area of the East coast. Obviously the link date is for today’s scheduled time but, with clear skies predicted, it might be visible to a lot of folks in the morning.

I imagine the folks who reserved hotel rooms in the area to view the launch were more than a little disappointed.
